I needed a good laptop for my office away from home as well as support for my photo hobby and Ham Radio emergency comms work I like to do...
I went with the M90 DELL WORKSHOP laptop computer that is supported by the docking station where all of the keyboard, speakers, dual monitors, input/output support devices for Radio Comms, Additional portable hard drives, etc. My RV setup is almost an exact duplicate of my house setup... I found some great deals purchasing the DEL WORKHOUSE units from OFF-LEASE purchases... The two I picked up still had DELL Warranty left on them and was fully loaded with software and were in the $450-$500 range... The DELL M90 is now outdated of course but still working great for me. The M90 laptop is replaced with the Precision Mobile Workstation Inspiron-M-6000 series laptops and currently available through the OFF-LEASE sales.
I can do my ACAD drawings, photo workshops, chatting with kids, doing my bank bill payments, surfing the internet etc, in my RV setup just like I do at home. There is very little difference... Just pull the laptop from the house and plug into the docking station setup in the RV setup. When i get back home just plug the Laptop back into the home setup. Never miss a beat... I use Verizon MIFI Hot Spot WIFI for all of my mobile devices. The coverage area is outstanding with VERIZON and we have internet connection anywhere we have Verizon Cell Phone service. The Verizon MIFI is a stand alone unit and does not tie-up our cellphone.
This setup has worked out great for us over the years...
Just food for thought since you are in the thinking process about what to setup in your RV...
